Extractions: Staff Writer International star pianist Alexei Sultanov will perform one of the most popular works in classical music Saturday with the Augusta Symphony. He will play Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in b minor, a work he has performed in concert since his early youth not that long ago. Mr. Sultanov, born in Uzbekistan, first garnered the attention of the music world for winning the 1989 Van Cliburn International Competition at age 19. Since then he has toured extensively, appearing across Europe and with American symphonies in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta and many other cities. He recorded the Tchaikovsky concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra for the Teldec label. He has said in interviews that he ``can't remember a time he didn't know'' the Tchaikovsky concerto, and that it is one of his favorite pieces as well as that of the audience. The Augusta Symphony concert will also include Dances of Galanta by Zoltan Kodaly and Afro-American Symphony by Still, in honor of Black History Month.

Extractions: (c) The Dallas Morning News, 2001 FORT WORTH For each of the 30 young musicians now vying in the 11th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth, the event must seem the ultimate test: going head to head during 17 pressure-cooked days, trying to win the favor of the audience, critics and jury. But for Alexei Sultanov, the fiery Uzbekistani who took the gold medal at the 1989 Cliburn Competition, there are other tests unimaginably more difficult and only recently encountered. In late February, a massive stroke left the 31-year-old Fort Worth resident in a coma, near death. Days later, as he regained consciousness, doctors determined that he had lost the use of his left arm and leg. Financially devastated by mounting bills, he now makes his temporary home at the Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation in Dallas, fighting to resurrect his limbs and his life as a concert pianist. "It's easy to get somebody back to work when all they have to do is move a box from Point A to Point B," says Dr. Mary Carlile, his physician at the institute. "But Alexei is brilliant. ... It's one of life's great tragedies and great ironies to have this devastating event happen to him."

Extractions: Gut Ding braucht Weile heißt es tröstend, wenn der Volksmund sich lebenskundlich um tragfähige Wahrheit bemüht. Für den türkischen, mittlerweile 30-jährigen Pianisten Fazil Say gilt dies in besonderer Hinsicht. Er reüssiert als neuer Exklusiv-Künstler der Teldec nicht als einer jener kometengleich vorüberschießenden, raketenähnlich hinaufkatapultierten Blutjungstars mit seriösen bis zweifelhaften Wettbewerbsreverenzen. Er ist ein klavierversessenes, komponierendes, improvisierendes Ur-Talent, dessen Werdegang die Schmerzen und Freuden des Wachsens, des Wartens und des Erhörtwerdens spiegelt. In New York hatte »Klassik heute« Gelegenheit, mit dem vielseitigen, völlig unprätentiösen Künstler und baldigen Familienvater! zu sprechen und Auskunft zu bekommen. Jeder Schallplattenproduzent sieht sich mit dem Problem konfrontiert, zum einen seine etablierten Solisten zu hegen und zu pflegen, zum anderen ständig nach Sensationen oder wenigstens nach vielversprechenden Könnern Ausschau zu halten. Sie bürgen auch in Zukunft für das künstlerische wie das kommerzielle Wohl eines Labels. Seit der Produzent Wolfgang Mohr bei Teldec seine Vorstellungen verwirklicht, beobachtet man einen behutsamen, aber in den Einzelentscheidungen doch mutigen Wechsel zwischen Auffrischung des musikalischen Kaders und nomineller Beständigkeit.

The 13th competition took place in 1995; the first prize was not awarded, two second prize winners (Silver Medal plus $20,000) were Philippe Giusiano (France) and Alexei Sultanov (Russia).

Fifteen contestants are admitted to the third stage; their program includes a cycle of mazurkas, and one sonata. In the final stage six contestants appear performing one of Chopin's piano concertos.

Feedback alexei sultanov who played like on the own concert and our Rudenko (¹1 in my opinion),sultanov and Filippov will pick out at least one perspective pianist. http://www.mmv.ru/tchaikovsky/otziv/piano1eng.htm
Extractions: Feedback After the playing of first 24 participants we can draw conclusion that the Russian participants are objectively stronger than all foreign participants who played this day. Whether the preliminary selection has given the results or the talented foreign pianists have stopped to come to the Tchaikovsky competition? I think we should address all these questions to the Selection board that have admitted such untalented persons to take part in the competition (we havent heard performings of such a low level for a long time already). Anyway, presently our pianists show quite different performance level. In the other hand, if one would like to appraise Russian participants abstractly or compare them with each other, it is indeed possible to have this or that claim to lay to every one of them. The lack of the musical initiative and of the personal playing is the main shortcoming. Anonymous Press-center information I would like you tell about the brightest impressions of two days. As a rule we remember the best and the worst. I begin from the second ones. The playing of Firsov E. (USA), Ivanov A. (Belorusia), Erzhakovsky R.(Kazahstan), Lim Chong NG (Malaysia) was quiet outstanding. Galios from Greece is a leader in this category of amateurs (so-called). It was for the first time when I heard the whistle in the grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. He has a "typical" appearance: cross-shoes, crimson shirt and a sincere indignation. If such persons (I don't want to call them by right names) it would be better to give the possibility to take part in such prestige competition to the pupils of our musical school, they play better.
